Mommy weights 139.6 today and my starting weight was 121 so I'm doing ok with the weight gain. Funny enough that 1.6 pounds was ALL baby this time because that is how much he has put on since the last ultrasound!
Baby boy is measuring 5lb 10oz today which is GREAT! If I make it full term I am looking at a 9lb baby. I doubt that will happen because he is VERY eager to get here, but its nice to dream. After our Dr appointment this morning, Dr Harward was sweet enough to see if I wanted to be induced if I made it to 39 weeks and wanted to get "something on the books" just in case. We all don't think I will make it that far but it was cute to think positive enough. So the very last day I will be pregnant is JUNE 15. Which is a Monday, Madison was born on a Monday and it was very nice. Your real due date has been anywhere from June 20-24 so its just a few days early. However, at the ultrasound they did in the hospital, baby measured a week ahead. The doctor there said it does not mean that you will come a week early... but I guess we will see if you decide to come next week like your sister or not.
We ended up in the hospital again last night. I was having contractions 5 minutes apart for a solid 3 hours and they were getting pretty uncomfortable. Zach got home from work at 5pm and we waited till about 7 before he convinced me to go in. I was not sure if I was in labor but I definitely didn't feel good. We called Grandma and Papa Lyman to come pick up Madi for a "sleep party" at their house. We checked back in to labor and delivery at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center (Provo hospital). The monitored my contractions and baby heartbeat and took a urine sample. Thankfully this time they did not want blood work or set me up on an IV so I didn't have to get any "pokey shots". However they did have to check my cervix which is a very uncomfortable thing. Then they waited an hour and checked again. No dilatation meant it was not labor. Now we just had to wait and see what my urine said.... and it FINALLY came back. Another UTI, which is what sent me to the hospital on preterm labor just a few weeks ago. I guess the antibiotic they had me on didn't kill the thing completely so it came back with a vengeance. I had no clue I had a UTI/kidney infection, all I knew was that I was having constant painful contractions for over an hour and had back pain too. Apparently that infection can tell your body to release a chemical that triggers your uterus into labor. WHO KNEW? They ended up sending us home around 10:30 at night and I'm on another round of nasty antibiotics for a week and hope this clears it up for good. My mom will get here Thursday and then we just sit and wait for brother to decide he wants to come. Its kind of exciting this last part of labor. You don't know when its going to happen.
We have made it to the weekly doctor appointments, I can't decide if this next month is going to go by extremely fast or slow. Either way, now we play the waiting game.
If you make it to June 15, I'm glad we picked that date. Finleigh is getting baptized that Saturday June 20. Which means we will be out of the hospital. I'm still not positive if I'm willing/ready to take my 5 day old out in public or that I will feel up to it but we will see. Maybe I can wrap you up and sit in the back. I learned you can't get in the pool for 6 weeks after having a baby so I guess all summer (Until August) will be just the two of us sitting in the shade while the rest of the family plays in the water. So I can't say I would be totally upset if you came early, but lets shoot for June 1st ok?
